The business world is expanding. Social enterprise, emerging markets, new industries, roles and specialisms; the opportunities in which to find a niche and make an impact are immense, the prospects thrilling.

As a recent graduate, with less than one year of postgraduate business experience or fewer than two years in a non-traditional business role, you’re on the cusp of your first career move. You’re after a fast-track environment that will propel your abilities and ambitions to a new level.

This programme will dare and challenge you, take you out of your comfort zone and help you fulfil your potential.

Certain qualities mark you out as an ideal candidate: you’re dynamic, open-minded, thrive on putting new ideas into practice, can collaborate with a diverse, enthusiastic, questioning peer group and are willing to share your own experiences.

Wide-ranging backgroundsOur Masters in Management students come from diverse study disciplines including business administration, engineering, languages, mathematics, history, neurobiology, literature, economics, law, and music. Their professional experience has spanned entrepreneurial, not-for-profit and international corporate sectors. As you might expect from this student body, such diversity fuels lively debate.

If you have a business background, you may be seeking more in-depth knowledge of how theory applies to the real world. Or, if you’re lacking business experience, you may want a degree that helps you transition into that world with greater confidence and knowledge.

The combination of academic rigour and practical context offers you the tools to develop as a capable business practitioner, team leader and motivator. This programme will, without doubt, impact your career path. You’ll catch the eye of top global recruiters and prospective employers and put yourself on track for a truly rewarding long-term career.

Jeffrey Lui (British / Canadian / Chinese) MiM2010, Consultant, Accenture

After studying economics at university, I had a solid understanding of theories but no way to apply them in the real world. I wanted a Masters qualification that would give me the practical application of business knowledge. The School’s focus on interactive learning, career preparation, its renowned brand and international faculty were key attractions.

Henriette Müller (German) MiM2012,Consultant, McKinsey & Company

New languages and cultures have always been part of my life, but the Masters in Management has enabled me to meet and work with people from all over the world. It exposed me to business in practice, because the faculty is tightly linked to the global business community. Anybody can read a text book, but real world experience makes all the difference.

Aaron Ganz (American) MiM2013, Senior Financial Planning Analyst, Fox International Channels

My career goal has always been to work in the entertainment industry. I applied to the Masters in Management to develop the necessary business skills for a financial position in this highly competitive field. The programme has encouraged me to trust my instincts and to experiment with new ideas – particularly in the entrepreneurial course.

“The programme exposed me to business in practice – it makes all the difference.”

“I built a strong foundation in business concepts and good commercial awareness. Through involvement in clubs and events, I was able to meet people who have accomplished great things.”

Mahesh Nayak (Indian) MiM2011, Analyst, GSMA Mobile for Development

The Masters in Management experienceAround the core courses of this programme are unique opportunities to broaden your business experience, on campus, in London and overseas. Here’s how it all fits together

Orientation and foundationsBegin by getting to know your classmates and developing your teamworking skills. Reach new heights on an outdoor leadership programme and discover London by visiting cultural and business landmarks.

Core coursesAccounting Learn fundamental concepts behind financial accounting and how accounts can be prepared, understood and interpreted. Then see how they are used in the corporate world for shareholder equity and intercorporate investment. Develop an overview of key aspects and uses of management accounting: understanding short-term decision-making; allocating costs for determining profitability; performance measurement and compensation systems. Each new concept is worked through with practical case studies.

Economics Study the drivers of global macroeconomic development through the topics of national wealth, banking structure, monetary markets, regulation and financial crises. Look at the market mechanics of microeconomic business scenarios such as supply and demand, power and pricing strategies, and segmentation and capacity.

Finance Build technical and theoretical know-how by understanding the foundations of finance, with an emphasis on applications. Discuss many of the major financial decisions corporate managers make, both within the firm and in their interactions with investors. Essential in this decision making is the process of valuation, an important emphasis of the course. Topics include criteria for making investment decisions, valuation of financial assets and liabilities, relations between risk and return, derivative securities (options) and mergers and acquisitions.

Leadership in organisations Gain a global view of the key aspects of corporate culture: change management, working with diverse cohorts, group and individual dynamics, conflict, influence and negotiation. Through practical and interactive exercises and working with business coaches, explore the dynamics of your study group, develop objective viewpoints and understand how individual behaviour can impact a team.

Marketing View business situations from a marketing angle, important not just for a career in marketing or consulting, but for those in general management and finance roles who need to understand drivers of value and marketplace context. Learn essential concepts, terminology, frameworks and data analysis skills. A key component of the course is MarkStrat, a computer simulation which gives you experience in developing and executing marketing strategies. Compete in ‘company’ teams against classmates, using long-term strategic thinking about targeting, positioning, product design, distribution, pricing, advertising and sales.

Management analysis and systems Using interactive lectures and case studies, learn and relate concepts to real settings. Topics cover managerial statistics including distribution and error handling, modelling systems for financial and operational issues, decision-making, product mixes and capacity analysis. Finally this course looks at portfolio diversification, decision analysis, risk management and hedging.

Strategic analysis Learn to use analytical frameworks and concepts to assess the current and future prospects of a business by examining a range of internal and external factors. Use different concepts and frameworks to inform your evaluations. Speakers, case studies and seminars ensure understanding is embedded in both academic principles and practical application.

Faculty excellence builds confidenceArriving at London Business School, you may have little business experience, but a lot of potential. Our faculty aims to bridge that gap through a balance of in-depth theory and analytical skills with practical experience of the corporate, government and finance worlds.

It means students not only learn to use technical business tools with confidence, but also understand the context and culture, and are ‘think-on-your-feet’ solution finders.

Interactive learning is one of the most powerful ways to take in and apply knowledge. You’ll encounter the following teaching techniques on this programme:

• faculty-led lectures• study groups and

assignments• lectures and development

workshops• computer simulation

exercises• company site visits• individual preparation• guest speakers• discovery project • live strategy cases, working

with a company.

“Those who thought they could ignore trends in the global macroeconomic environment have been badly hurt since 2007. My Masters in Management students have the practical knowledge and analytical skills to ensure they won’t make that mistake.”Hélène Rey, Professor of Economics, London Business School

Our diverse elective options include:

and Capital Markets

Mergers, Acquisitions and Alliances

Financial Modelling

Business Immersion WeekBroaden your knowledge of diverse business environments by spending time at contrasting organisations to understand their sectors, cultures and structures, how they add value, the challenges they face and how they address them.

Visit consultancies, brand management firms, investment banks, media empires, entertainment multinationals and retail giants to meet with senior managers (often School alumni) for a company presentation, Q&A or discussion. In teams, you work on projects devised by the companies and are mentored through them by executives on our senior degree programmes to hone a practical, professional approach. Teams then present their projects to the host companies, mentors and faculty. Recent visits include Google, Deloitte, BBC Worldwide, CNN, Universal Music Group, Accenture, London Stock Exchange, Blackrock, M&C Saatchi and Canon.

LanguagesAn important route to success in a global business environment is through speaking another language, which brings with it new perceptions and cultural insights. Therefore a second language is an exit requirement of the programme.

Global Immersion Field Trips These stimulating trips complement your academic and programme experience. Network with peers and faculty from leading institutions in Silicon Valley, Paris, Milan, Munich, Mumbai and Shanghai. Meet business leaders, visit innovative, successful companies and extend your understanding of how business cultures differ around the world. There are company visits, simulations, lectures and masterclasses, as well as cultural visits, dinners and city tours.

MBA and MiF and alumni mentoring scheme Advice, networking and reality checks are readily available via this informal and invaluable scheme. Mentors can help you with job applications and you are encouraged to make contact with alumni working in your target companies to get to know more about their working world.

Personal Development ProgrammeTailor a personal development plan that builds self-awareness and improves your skills in important non-academic areas.Our programme aims to transform how you see yourself as a business professional. Workshops help develop the critically important skills you need in the workplace: making an impact online; good networking and presentation skills; technical Excel skills; creative thinking and time management. You’ll create an individual plan for your personal development, which is updated each term.

Career Week This on-campus initiative allows you to network with a wide range of recruiting companies and businesses. You’ll have the chance to meet representatives from companies such as JP Morgan, Nomura and Morgan Stanley, as well as blue-chip companies including Amazon, Facebook and Google, and consultancies such as McKinsey and BCG. Through the week, career advice panels offer in-the-field views of diverse organisations such as Sony and L’Oréal.

Electives Masters in Management students take two electives from the School’s main portfolio. Electives are a highlight of the postgraduate degree programme and provide a diverse range of subject areas to allow you to broaden your understanding of the business world, or concentrate your sphere of knowledge. This is your opportunity to begin to customise your degree and build the foundations of your future career. Elective subject areas cover Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management Science and Operations, Marketing, Organisational Behaviour, and Strategy and Entrepreneurship.

You learn alongside students from other degree programmes, in itself a valuable opportunity to hear the views of those with years of experience in different business disciplines. Electives are taught by School faculty, many of whom are thought leaders in their field, and who give you an inside track on the latest areas of research and trends. Delivered in practical and academic formats, the elective portfolio showcases the depth and quality of faculty research.

Two electives have been specifically designed for Masters in Management students:

Entrepreneurial ManagementAn exciting opportunity to make your dreams of entrepreneurship a reality. You bring an idea and our faculty (and other students) help you to develop, test and trial a concept. Many of our faculty are experienced entrepreneurs in their own right and bring other successful entrepreneurs to speak in class. Students at the School have launched businesses during their time with us, and you could be next.

Corporate Finance and Capital MarketsCorporate finance is an integral part of any growing business, no matter what industry you decide to pursue. Master the world of investments and capital markets and gain the practical skills to kick-start your career with this elective. Perfect if you are looking for a stepping stone into an advanced finance elective.

Henry De Bennetot (French), BSc (Hons) Management, Warwick Business School (UK) MiM2013, Founder and CEO, SunEos

Alexis Garavel (French) Engineering Diploma, Aerospace, ISAE (France) MiM2013, Co-founder and COO, SunEos

Company Biography SunEos is a FinTech venture focusing on contactless solutions using NFC technology. The concept offers contactless payment in the form of a wristband that fuses concert ticket, cloakroom token and wallet, and allows event-goers to pay for food and drink without the need for cash or cards.

How did the concept for SunEos emerge? Henry Prior to joining the MiM I had spent some time working in Hong Kong where I was introduced to the local Octopus pass. This simple travel pass allows access to the underground and is used to pay for food and drink in numerous outlets. It’s a fast, simple and handy form of contactless payment and there was definitely scope for something similar in Europe. I needed a safety net though, and Jurek Sikorski, LBS’s Entrepreneur in Residence, convinced me to apply for the Incubator. Alexis When Henry outlined his idea it immediately struck home – I’d lost credit cards and wallets at festivals and concerts over the years, and the wristband concept is so simple. Given my engineering background, the fact it was a revolutionary technical innovation, was also very exciting.

How has LBS helped in your entrepreneurial journey?Henry Without the Incubator I don’t think we’d have pursued the idea – there were just too many risks. The experience has been invaluable. We

have office space in central London, which would be prohibitively expensive otherwise. The network is amazing, the alumni and wonderful mentors – including Jane Khedair, who drafted workshops for us on how to incorporate a company, create a business plan, and so on. Alexis It’s fantastic having faculty members and guest speakers, including Ben Hallen, the entrepeneurship speaker, easily accessible. We also benefitted from the support of MBA students who helped with our presentations.

What have you learned from starting your own business?Alexis Starting your own company is probably the most exciting challenge, but it’s not always fun, there’s a lot of paperwork! One tip for new entrepreneurs – don’t be afraid. You can be overwhelmed by the amount of tasks ahead but just take that step and go for it. Henry Running your own business offers you freedom to choose what

to pursue and provides access to the strategic decisions that drive a business, something I would have probably waited many years to do in the corporate world. Plus you’re always on the run, looking for new ideas, adapting the product and getting feedback. It’s very exhilarating!

What’s next for SunEos?Henry We’ve been commissioned by LBS to pilot “SunEos Campus”, a new attendance monitoring system for students. It’s the beginning of a new product diversification, made entirely possible by the MiM programme office. LBS has been essential in the development of SunEos, and we’re delighted and proud to give something back. Alexis We’re also aiming to bolster our business activities throughout the university market and the events sector. Building a company from scratch has been hugely exciting – we don’t know yet where we will go from here, but we know LBS will definitely be part of its future.

The alumni viewWhere does a London Business School Masters in Management lead? We’ll let our graduates tell you

“The Masters in Management really evolved my aspirations and goals.”

“In less than a year, I’ve been able to lead a global FMCG client project.”

Helen Ling (Chinese) Economics, The London School of Economics and Political Science (UK), MiM2014

The Masters in Management really evolved my aspirations and goals. With the assistance of the Career Centre I applied for a wide range of jobs, and during that process I discovered more about myself and what I really wanted to do. I started out being interested in retail and came to understand that my skill set matches better with private banking. I now work at Pictet, a Swiss wealth management bank.

The main takeaway for me was the sense of community. I gained so much from the wonderful people I met. And with ongoing programmes including the MBA mentor scheme, the School encourages us to build upon the strong community feeling. I know I’ll carry that with me forever, whatever my career holds.

Sandra Marichal (French), Business Administration, EPSCI – ESSEC Business School (France) MiM2010, Strategy Director - Business Development and Marketing, Futurebrand.

One of the great things about this programme was how it helped me become responsible for my own development. It combines highly practical aspects with a curriculum aimed at improving hard and soft skills in a progressive and natural way.

I have learned the tools to perform my job with confidence, and London Business School gave me the credibility to be taken seriously. After less than a year at Futurebrand, I am leading my own global FMCG client projects and have been promoted to consultant level. It has boosted my professional reputation and has opened up a world of opportunities.

“Building a company from scratch has been hugely exciting – we don’t know yet where we will go from here, but we know LBS will definitely be part of its future.”

“My experience on this programme was unparalleled in terms of expanding my skill set and contact list.”

Natasha Jain (Indian) Dip. Economics, Econometrics, Corporate Finance and Management, University of London, External Programme (India) MiM2010, Manager, KPMG

I chose this programme because I knew it would expand my exposure to global business. Being part of such an international network at the age of 22 appealed greatly. When interviewing for my current job, I reached out to the School’s community to help me prepare for the modelling-based first-round interview, and was lucky enough to be coached through the process by a student who had recently been recruited into the same company.

With the job market so competitive, the support from the Career Centre was invaluable. I improved my CV

writing and networking technique by attending on-campus recruiter events, and took sessions in technical areas I needed to improve in, such as Excel. These skills serve me daily in my current role and I have been promoted twice in two years. The Leadership class taught me a lot about teamwork, really preparing me for my work environment.

My experience on this programme was unparalleled in terms of expanding my skill set and contact list. I know that alumni will be a benefit that I tap into for the rest of my career, and I still use the School’s intranet service to ask for advice or find out about events in London. My expectations were high to start with given that I was going to London Business School, and I reap the benefits every day.
